The diference between two sepal are sabdariffa’s sepal is not able to consume.[1]
In Indonesia, Rosella has known since 1992. Rosella plant grow fertile especially at rainy season.[2] Rosella plant usually used as benefits which useful for human. The benefit of medicine’s plant is never change if by the right processing.[3]
Rosella grown by it seed, this plant can grow in tropical and subtropical climate territorial. This plant can grow in beach area until the higher area 900 m on surface of the sea. The fruit of rosella flower has cone shape, red colour and has little hirsute which devide into five spaces.[4] The shape its seed looks like the kidney. From in side its colour is white it the seed is unripe and its grey it flower seed is ripe.[5]

B. The Indetification Types of Rosella Plants
Commonly, many people known rosella based its colour of the flower, there are three types of rosella that are often found in the ground, there are :
1. Red Rosella

2. Purple Rosella

C. The Planting Systems of Rosella Plants
Planting land for rosella plant is an important factor for the growth and development of rosella plants. Soil has elements that are very important for the growth of the rosella plants. There fore, it is very important to pay attention to the preparation of planting lands in order to support the quality and increase of rosella flower yield. The land for planting must be controlled freavently, so that the water is neither dry nor too wet. The planting system that is the condition for growing this plant includes :[8]
1. Climate
Climate is the main factor for the survival of the rosella plant, another water, mineral, and sun light intensity. A good planting time is at the beginning of the rainy season for the growth of young rosella plants. Rosella plants do not require special care or attention as long as the soil condition are fertile and well structured.[9]
2. Temperature
Rosella plants grow optimally in area with an altitude of 600 meter above sea level. More higher than the sea level, the growth of rosella will be disrupted. Rosella can grow in tropical and subtropical area with an average temperature of 24-32. However, red rosella is tolerant in a temperature range of 10-36. to produce optimal growth and development, rosella takes 4-5 months with a night temperature unless than 21.[10]
3. Water
If the rain fall is in sufficient it can be over come with good irrigation. The dry period required for rosella for flowering and seed production. Mean while, rain or high humidity during harvest and drying can reduce the quality of flower petals and can reduce production.[11]
4. Soil
Rosella plants can be cultivated in all kind of soil, but are most suitable for fertile and loose soil, meaning those that has a deep structure, light textured, and are well drained. Rosella can still be tolerant of acidic and slightly alkalin soil, but is not suitable for planting in saline or high salinity soils.
5. Planting Space
The size of the plant spacing depends on the type, planting time, and the level of soil fertility. Rosella plant nurseries are only separate from other mature plant 5. This is due to pests and disease in plant that move easily.[12]
6. Planting Time
Rosella plant is one type of flowering plant depending on the season with a planting period about 3 to 4 month. Rosella plant bloom according to the season. The symetoms of seasonal flowering are closely related to the length of the day. If the rosella is planted between September and January, it will flower in April. To achieve optimum result, the planting time for rosella is carried out during the long day, the best time to plant rosella for fiber in java is mid-August and late October.
7. The Rosella’s Seed
The seed used should be from the harvest because the seed growth has reached complete growth. Choose the big seed to bring plant by the stronger and fresh sprout.[13]
8. Harvesting Process
The rosella plant can be harvested since the beginning of planting which only takes about 3 month. Furthermore, this plant can continue to produce flower until the plant dries up and dies by it self.[14]
